[ISSO] Town Hall: New USDHS Rules For International Students & Scholars

USDHS published new rules that will restrict academic program changes and set fixed expiration dates for international students and scholars by eliminating duration of status (D/S) effective September 15, 2026.

Join the ISSO, Office of General Counsel, Federal Relations and a Boston-based immigration attorney for a virtual town hall to learn more. This session will provide a broad overview of the new rule and how these changes will affect international students, scholars, and the departments that support them. We will also discuss potential implications for advising, academic planning, employment authorization, and immigration compliance, as well as considerations for the broader university community.

While many aspects of implementation are still evolving, this session is designed to provide high-level context and help attendees understand the potential impact of these changes. Time will be reserved for questions and answers.

This session is intended for current BU community members only. Registrations without a BU email and valid BUID will be declined.
